Comment(by deryni):

 I'm really against this sort of thing as I really don't think it should be
 possible (or necessary, that is I think any such client choice limiting
 policy is horribly wrong at this level).

 That being said I do think we should allow people to control whether or
 not we respond to these sort of requests. I think we used to have a
 preference for them but yanked them a while back as part of an unrelated
 policy decision.

 And as indicated, a plugin could be written to fake a response as the
 request comes in or to modify the response as it is sent out.
